Fabric Tools

The Fabric MCP server is available at https://mcp.equinix.com/fabric. For setup, authentication, and security guidance, see the MCP Server Overview.

Public Preview

The Fabric MCP server is in public preview. Tools, descriptions, and response formats may change before general availability.

For feedback, questions, or help with the MCP server, email fabric-intelligence-support@equinix.com.

Permission Levels

Each tool in the following tables lists the lowest permission level required to call it. Two controls must permit a call: the roles assigned to your Equinix Customer Portal account, and the permission level you select when you connect a client. The issued token grants the intersection of the two. For more information, see Permissions Model.

Level	Description
Viewer	Searches and lookups. Makes no changes.
Operator	Viewer access, plus modification of existing resources and attach or detach operations.
Manager	Operator access, plus creation of resources. Ordering a port or a Cloud Router is billed at the same rate as ordering one in the portal.

Use the narrowest permission level that covers the work. A client connected with Viewer cannot change resources, regardless of the roles assigned to the account.

The server publishes no delete tools. No permission level, including Manager, can remove a connection, port, Cloud Router, or network.

Example Prompts

The following examples show the types of requests these tools support. The client selects the tools to call. You do not need to name them.

Everyday

• "Show me all active connections in the SV metro."
• "Which ports are over-utilized or have negative available bandwidth?"
• "Summarize my Fabric Cloud Routers."
• "What projects can I create a Cloud Router in?"
• "Change the bandwidth on the connection named <connection_name> to 1 Gbps."
• "Ping the far end of this router-based connection."
• "What would a 10 Gbps port in Frankfurt cost?"

Bigger Questions

The tools can be combined, which allows an agent to complete multi-step analysis:

• "Look at port, router, and connection utilization across every metro. Find what is underutilized and tell me where we could cut spend without hurting performance."
• "Find metros where we terminate on a single path and should have a second one."
• "Walk our connection topology and list the single points of failure."

For these requests, the agent reads live inventory and derives conclusions from it. Review the results before you act on them, and confirm any request that modifies a resource.
